Yep, Yep. Here they are. Please read, we will be quite flexible about them, but please follow them...
1. No Flaming
Code:
Warning 0-10%
This means, no insulting other people, or swearing at them on purpose. Other members are just like you, a human being.
2. No Spamming
Code:
Warning 0-10% (Per spam)
No random posts such as #$%&'&%$# as this will be considered as a spam. Also, just because it's acceptable to do it in an IM convo it does not mean you should do it on a forum. Please don't post things like ^^ o_0 ^_^ etc. unless you're going to say something else with it. You may include those symbols in your post, but please don't post them if that's the only thing you're going to say.
3. DO NOT Revive dead topics
Code:
Warning 0-5%
If there's a topic that hasn't been active for over a month, it is considered dead. Do not revive the topic if you're only going to post stuff like Yeah and lol. Only revive if you have a specific reason why. Also, you can post in topics that are on the first page regardless of its age.
4. DO NOT Over use Emoticons
Code:
Warning Up to 5% for each overuse
They can slow down other member's computers and maybe crash them. The most emoticons allowed in one post will be limited to 10
5. Disrespecting others
Code:
Warning 0-10%
This means more than one member ganging up onto the one member's mistake. This can be called bullying (although I like to call it disrespect more >_>) and shouldn't happen anywhere.
6. No Back-modding
Code:
Warning 0-5%
If there is a topic that is not needed, or just there to annoy us by spamming etc, instead of posting something like: "Dear mod, please lock this", please PM us instead with a link to the topic and post. It saves us time to know which topic that needs locking without looking through every forum. However, this is okay if you only add it as a note.
7. No Advertising
Code:
Warning 0-15%
This is definitely NOT permitted in this forum, so please don't advertise other websites (that aren't to do with XZORA) in any topic. They will be deleted with no further questions. To stop this from happening, please edit the post to remove the advertisement. You can put little advertisements in your signature only if its appropriate.
8. Spoiler Rule
Code:
Warning 0-10%
If you are writing in a spoiler which is either further into the game than the author is asking (for topics with *SPOILER* in the title) or with topics where there aren't any *SPOILERS* written in the title. If you are writing in a spoiler, please use the spoiler code: [image]
9. No asking admins or mods to higher your rank
Code:
Warning 0-5%
As well as normal ranks (Forum Poster etc), there special ranks (moderators etc). I will only promote you to be a mod if I think you should be one. I (and the other admins/mods) will be the ones making the decision.
10. Let's keep this forum PG-13
Code:
Warning 0-20%
This forum does not approve sexual comments, pictures, or behavior. We will delete that post or picture IMMEDIATELY.
As a note, we will ask you not to do whatever you offended before we warn you. Yes, we are sympathetic...
Also, read the ProBoards Terms of Service.
Avatar and Signature Rules
Signatures and avatars should not have any questionable material that brakes our rules and/or the Proboards TOS. Avatars can not be bigger than 100 x 100 pixels. We will resize them if they are. Signatures shouldn't be bigger than 600 (width) x 150 (height). They can be a few pixels over, but they can't be too much bigger than that. This is for ALL of your pictures, not just one. So, you can't have two pictures in your signature that are 150 pixels because that would mean your signature is 300 pixels high. Userbars do not count towards the signature size limit. The limit is for pictures only. We don't have a limit on text, but we would appriciate it if you didn't use a bunch of page breaks just because you can.
Once you get a warning it will go up in percents. Here's how the percentages will work:
10% - You permanetly lose your custom title (if your warning doesn't get this high you get it back for free, if it does get this high you have to buy/earn it back)
15% - You lose your custom color (you can still buy/earn it back)
30% - Temporary ban (three days)
60% - Temporary ban (One week)
80% - Temporary ban (three weeks)
100% - Permanent ban
Thanks Kaz ^^
